[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were actually serious you would compare, middle infielders and most outfielders in baseball, guards in basketball maybe some forwards anything taller than 6'9" is just awkward in soccer, anything but lineman in football so on find those athletes and start comparing if the US would close the gap faster if all these folks chose soccer, probably but ultimately the culture is not soccer so actually playing the game would take generations of soccer only families to achieve.[/quote]

If you're really serious, you'd know being a good baseball player doesn't mean you'd be a good soccer player.[/quote]

au contraire baseball may be best comp becasue there are plenty of non-athletes excelling at baseball. Messi would be a non-athelete in any other sport he is a footballer throught and through and picked the best sport for his body type, which is not a superior athlete. My point is the best athletes in other sports comparision, the best athletes on a baseball field are the middle infieders and most outfielders (the non-power guys who can actually run). American football or basketball I agree are best comps because of the starting and stopping that occurs in those games, cutting, and in game transitions [/quote]

You just called Messi a non athlete out loud in public (which is one of the problems with soccer in this country. Everyone thinks they can speak on it)

So that would mean over the years, all the opposition trying to stop Messi must also be non athletes 🤔 🙄

Soccer players can only be compared to soccer players that play the same position. 
It's ludicrous to compare someone without soccer skills (yes, the athleticism is completely useless alone) to others who do.

If only Michael Phelps played basketball with his height, he'd be the best (see how silly that sounds)[/quote]
